I plugged it back in and tried connecting to it on my phone and it asked for 'authentication'. This is very normal and as with all Android phones a little notification popped up at the top to click to authenticate.

Either way, if you don't know the current status of the extender exactly, get the Quick Strat and follow the installation processes from the device User Manual.
